Abstract: As students transitioned back to on-campus classes, challenges affecting occupational balance (OB) and temporal satisfaction with life (TSWL) influenced their overall health and well-being. This study aimed to assess OB and TSWL among 171 occupational therapy (OT) students in the Philippines and examine the correlation between them. Participants completed the Occupational Balance Questionnaire (OBQ11) and the Temporal Satisfaction with Life Scale (TSWLS). The mean OBQ11 score was 16.71 ± 6.87, with a median score of 17. Based on this median score, nearly half of students 43.90% (n = 75) were classified as having low OB. The TSWLS scores indicated that students were neutral regarding past life satisfaction (M = 20.85, SD = 6.98), slightly satisfied with present life (M = 22.86, SD = 6.05), and satisfied with future life (M = 26.63, SD = 4.90). Significant positive correlations were found between OB and TSWL scores. These findings suggest that while OT students are heavily engaged in academic occupations, they may lack sufficient non-academic activities, leading to an occupational imbalance. The time dedicated to academic tasks impacts their ability to achieve OB and participate in diverse activities. Given the direct beneficial effects of OB on health, promoting balanced participation in both academic and non-academic occupations is crucial. Future research should explore strategies to enhance nonacademic engagement and examine the long-term impacts of balanced occupational participation on student well-being.
